BAC-accredited institutions

BAC-accredited colleges provide myriad learning opportunities within the framework of independent further and higher education, for students who want the flexibility to study their own way.

Our colleges in the UK fall mainly into three categories: colleges preparing students for university entry; training providers offering short vocational and professional education; and colleges working in partnership with a university or awarding body to offer fully-validated higher education courses.  The majority of our colleges teach face-to-face, but some offer online, distance and blended learning.

Within these three categories, traditional A level, diploma and degree programmes keep company with more modern, vocational subjects such as business, IT, hospitality and tourism, as well as diverse courses such as complementary therapies, art, design, fashion and drama. In addition, our international colleges provide British-standard educational opportunities and qualifications to students in locations across the world, including the EU, India, Pakistan, Mauritius and the United Arab Emirates.
